ROSIE ALL OVER capped a progressive run of form with victory in bottomless ground at Haydock last time and given she is still competitively treated based on her old form she should follow up in this Mares' handicap chase ahead of Romping Home and Vic's World. That last victory for the selection was over a marathon trip but she has won over this sharper test in the past. We are slightly concerned by the faster ground here but with this likely to be tactical she should still be the one to beat. Romping Home has looked a slightly better chaser than hurdler so far and has improved in two runs this term. More will be needed again if she is to win off this mark but after just a a handful of starts over the big stuff she could find what she needs. Vic's World isn't the most solid of jumpers but she should give her running if completing while Itea Du Fau has plenty to prove based on her first three UK efforts. Again this looks a two horse race and this time we take Rosie All Over to win it.
